Description |
One of the new scientific frontiers in climate science is High-Resolution Kilometer-Scale Climate Projections. In the last years the role and potential of AI has been explored to complement the standard physically based dynamical models to overcome the main limitation due to the need of massive computational resources, to decrease the simulation time and to possibly improve the understanding of fine scale dynamic. The 2-weeks joint ICTP/UM6P/Toubkal Supercomputer event, with the participation of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development , aims to equip scientists with an understanding of contemporary computer tools to master the state of the art techniques for advanced Climate Modeling using the most powerful facility for high-performance computing hosted in the African continent. It offers an intensive curriculum emphasizing hands-on skills vital for modern scientists using HPC resources, alternating direct lectures and lab sessions.
Special emphasis will be placed on young researchers and practitioners, as well as master’s and PhD students interested in enhancing their climate modeling skills. Gender balance will also be prioritized, as much as possible, while considering qualifications and available candidates. The call for applications will specify the main criteria of selection, underlining that applications from Africa and the Arab world are strongly encouraged and financially supported.
The School will cover mainly:
NOTE: An intense series of parallel sessions specific to the learning of modern techniques for parallel programming will be offered to scientists from UM6P and partners.
Research abstracts: In the application form, all applicants are requested to submit a brief research abstract for a poster presentation and/or contributed talk. A limited number of abstracts will be selected for the poster session and/or to give a talk. Please use ICTP templates available for download here and below under 'Material'.
Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
